NOTE: Scale has an automatic re-zero to handle minor drifting or material accumulation on the weighing platform. If the display shows a weight while the platform is empty, press the ZERO/ENTER key to zero the scale.

TARE
Before weighing items, weigh the container so its weight can be deducted from the accumulated item weight:

1. Press ZERO/ENTER to re-zero the display.
2. Place the container to be used on the weighing platform. The display will show its weight. Press the TARE key . Container weight will be stored as the tare value and is subtracted from the display. The display shows 0.
3. The net indicator is on. When adding items to the platform, only the item weight will be displayed.

NOTE: Scale can be tared a second time to show only the weight of the items added after you press the TARE key Tare again. The display will show a negative (-) value if the container is removed. ZERO indicators will also be on.

WEIGHING A SAMPLE
To determine the weight of a sample:

1. Place an empty container on the platform.
2. Press the TARE key to subtract container weight.
3. Place the sample in a container. The display shows the weight of the sample less than the weight of the container.

PERCENT WEIGHING
The scale allows the sample weight to be shown as 100%. Then, any other weight placed on the scale displays as a percentage of the original sample.

For example:

1. 350g is placed on the scale.
2. Press % key .
3. The display shows 100.00%.
4. Remove the 350g weight, then place a 300g weight on the platform.
5. The display shows 85.71% (300g is 85.71% of 350g).
6. Press the FUNC key to return the scale to weighing mode.

NOTE: Scale may jump by large amounts if small weights are used to set the 100% level.

PARTS COUNTING
While the display is showing a weight, pressing the FUNC key starts the parts counting function.

1. Before starting, tare the weight of the container used and leave the empty container on the platform.
2. Place the number of samples on the scale. The number should match the predetermined sample sizes: 10, 20, 50, 100, or 200 pieces.
3. Press the FUNC key . The display shows P 10 (looking for a sample size of 10 parts.)
4. To change the sample size, press the TARE key . The display will cycle through 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and back to 10. 0621 IH-1649
5. Press the ZERO/ENTER key when the displayed number matches the number of items used in the sample. As more weight is added, the display shows the number of pieces (pcs).
6. Press the % key to display the unit weight (g/pcs), total weight (kg), or the count (pcs).
7. Press the FUNC key to return to weighing mode.

NOTE: See uline.com for parts counting instructional video.

BATTERY OPERATION

BATTERY LIFE

The scale will operate on battery-only power for approximately 70 hours.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

When the low battery icon turns on, recharge the battery as soon as possible. To protect the battery, the scale will shut off after 30 minutes. The indicator will flash every 5 minutes.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Plug into the AC adapter. The scale does not need to be turned on. The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.

BATTERY CHARGING STATUS

A light above the display (charging) indicates the state of the battery charge. When the scale is plugged in, the battery is charging.

The light color will change to indicate the battery status:

• Green —­ Battery is fully charged.
• Red ­— Battery needs recharging.
• Yellow —­ battery is being charged.

Over time, the battery may fail to hold a full charge and eventually will need replacing.

WARNING! Never use any damaged charger or battery. Do not short circuit the battery across the + and – terminals. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire or in household waste. Check local regulations for proper disposal.

BATTERY PERFORMANCE
Always use original batteries and AC adapter. The counting scale is not intended for use with non-original batteries and/or battery chargers.

• AC adapter rating is 9V; normal output range is 11V to 15V.
• New batteries or batteries stored for long periods of time may require longer charging times.
• Keep the battery at or near room temperature when charging.
• Do not expose batteries to temperatures below 14°F (-10°C) or above 113°F (45°C).

CALIBRATION

The scale is calibrated before leaving the manufacturer’s facility. Vibrations in shipping may cause the scale to fall out of calibration. Uline recommends re-verifying calibration in the field before first use. You must use a precision calibration weight to properly calibrate the scale. The calibration weight must be at least 1/3 of the scale’s capacity and cannot exceed the scale’s capacity.
NOTE: Calibration can be done in English system weight (lb.) or Metric system weight (kg).
